86 Boys Have Immediate Impact as College Freshmen
October 21, 2004

Solar 86 Boys started the fall season with 14 players at the collegiate level.  Those players are having an immediate impact for their teams.  The stats are impressive.  In an atmosphere where many college players are red-shirted, they have played a cumulative 121 games with 50 starts, scoring 11 goals and 6 assists - quite a feat considering over half of these players play in the defense.  These players account for several game-winning and game-tying goals and at least one of the players has played in every game this season.  The defenders have contributed to more than one shut-out and have scored 3 of those 11 goals.

We look forward to seeing these players have continued success in their college careers.  Continued good luck to these former Solar 86 Boys' players:
